“Delightful lodging with gardens”

Normandy Inn is conveniently located on Ocean Ave., close to everything, including the beach. The rooms are nicely decorated, and there are lovely plants everywhere on the grounds. A generous continental breakfast is included. The common areas are nice as well.Ruth N, Wilmington​2017

“Magical place”

Carmel by the Sea is a magical place and the Normandy Inn is the perfect place to enjoy the atmosphere, the shopping and the great food. It is near enough to the beach to stroll down to watch the sunset. It is a charming spot to sit and people watch. The staff is most helpful--and so friendly. We stayed in fireplace room--in fact we always ask for this area of the Inn. This is the place we always want to come back to.larueshreveport_La, Shreveport, LA2017

"Great stay in Carmel"

We enjoyed a four-day stay at The Normandy Inn. The service was great. The rooms were immaculate and larger than expected. The property was absolutely beautiful and the location was perfect. We were extremely satisfied. When we visit Carmel again, we will definitely stay there again.Syosset, NY2017

"Thank You!!!"

Nothing more inspiring than being by the Ocean. Carmel, Ca. ranks at the top of our list. Over the years whenever we return we always stay at the Normandy Inn. It's because of Sandra Backinger, mgr. who does a fabulous job of greeting us and making our stay so enjoyable. She is very attentive to details. Very clean/well run/good value!Kensington,CA2017

"I just spent another WONDERFUL week"

My wife and I just spent another WONDERFUL week at the Normandy Inn in Carmel By-The-Sea. I could write a book about our experiences in Carmel over the past 10 years. The Normandy Inn reflects what Carmel is all about. Over the years we have become regulars with the manager Sandra and her wonderful staff. The Inn has a European feel like all of Carmel. One of the best reasons we love the Normandy Inn is the location right on Ocean Ave. (the main street) very close to restaurants, shopping, Carmel Beach, art galleries, and wineries. Mainly [we love to] just relax and experience life at its best!! Thanks so much for another great time with everyone at the Normandy Inn!Larry and Anne, Shreveport, LA2017

"We have stayed in the Normandy Inn several times"

We have stayed in the Normandy Inn several times over the past 35 years and can recommend it without reservation. With relatives in the area, it is a very convenient, safe, and clean inn that offers a great value in an otherwise expensive area. Located midway to the beach on Ocean Avenue, the inn is at the center of this quaint seaside community. It is in the heart of the shopping area and only a few blocks from the beach. Originally built in the 1920s, this inn has been expanded and updated several times over the years and presents a very well maintained appearance. The staff is very courteous and caring. The inn offers cookies, coffee, and tea in the evening, and a well-supplied continental breakfast in the morning. Free off-street parking is available.Fairbanks, AK2017

“Beautiful facility and so convenient”

Beautiful facility and so convenient. Easy walk to active neighborhood shops and downtown features. Limited parking is tricky but not a serious problem. Very Friendly Inn.Robert A.2017
